This year, I think #Republicans are setting up most US residents for a financial disaster. Consider the cumulative effects of these recent changes:
- Tariffs causing inflation and uncertainty
- Tariffs causing businesses to shrink or shut down
- Loss of international trading partnerships
- Loss of income from tourism
- Removal of healthcare from tens of millions of residents
- Unbridled AI use causing widespread job losses
- ICE raids making people too afraid to go to work
- ICE raids causing businesses to suddenly lose labor force
- ICE raids destroying the economy of countless families
- DOGE laying off massive numbers of government workers
- Shutdown of disaster warnings increasing the risk of personal tragedy and economic loss
- Shutdown of climate incentives increasing the risk of climate crisis
With these changes, what do you think is going to happen to the economy of the bulk of US residents? Not only the poorest 50%, but even the 90th percentile?
